I don’t like conspiracy theories but I’ve always wondered about this alleged assassination attempt. Especially the ear discrepancy. Was Trump smart enough to pull this off? Was Stephen Miller involved in the planning?

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

I got it. Fuck...I got it. I was trained as a criminal investigator at Georgetown and Harvard, worked as a federal criminal investigator in DC, practiced Criminal Law—including sex crimes and homicides—for years, and was sure if I dedicated myself I’d figure out what Trump is hiding. And now I have.

New in PN: Trump claims to be the arbiter of Jewish identity
"Trump is not fighting for Jewish people; he is not the defender of Jewish people. He is a fascist bigot. He’s coming for leftists, for Palestinians, and for Jewish people first. There’s a poem about where that ends."

"A federal judge paused the Trump administration’s “deferred resignation” offer to federal workers until at least Monday. Federal workers had just hours left to decide whether to accept an offer to resign from their positions now while retaining pay and benefits through September."
